Hey guys,
I have a couple of big swimming pool contractorsin my area. I have thought about contacting them for some work. I have done zero blasting in pools, any input (pricing, applications, do's, donts, etc)from you guys that do this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ive done 1. Coal slag is what i used. Blasted Wet cause slag is dirty. Make sure cover openings, place a water pump @ bottom of pool to pump excess water out. Wet slag is heavy as Hell, so bid accordingly for disposal. Productions moves pretty quickly. From poolman on this board said, make sure they drain the pool and remove the hydrostatic plugs. Rebound is a bitch so tarp accordingly.
